Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Japanese Input Support In Oz?

« on: June 30, 2006, 07:24:51 pm »

Since Kanji Sonomama DS Rakubiki Jiten came out for Nintendo DS, I have a new favorite japanese dictionary. It's like Kanji Nirvana + Jisho rolled into one, and none of the problems that result from changing resolution between KaNi and Jisho. My only complaint is that AFAIK there's no way to build a list of kanji to be tested on, but there are some built in quizes.

Software / Kp/pi

I'm having the same problem using Cacko 1.23 on my 860. I'm guessing theres something dumb going on, like not authenticating with the outbound proxy... I'm not sure I'm going to have any time to sniff the packets and look around, but I'd LOVE to have a fully functioning phone in my zaurus ;-)

UPDATE: I stayed up and played with this late night. Fortunately, KPhone and X-Lite have debug consoles (well, kphone can be called from the command prompt and outputs to stderr anyway) that issue very similar output. Here's what I've learned:

Apparently, when you issue an invitation (calling someone), both SIP clients do so without any authentication information. Broadvoice's service responds with "401 Unauthorized", but provides some information about how you should authenticate yourself (Realm to use, md5 hash, etc). At this point, X-Lite responds with authentication information (that looks VERY SIMILAR to the auth info kphone sends when you register (at program launch) ), and kphone just gives up, returning the "Unauthorized" message to the user.

I found something in a forum here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message...msg_id=12009583
that seems to say the problem is happening because kphone can't authenticate with a realm other than the "Host part of SIP URL" (sip.broadvoice.com). I assume this means we're stuck with incoming only until either a) KPhone is updated to work with this, or  broadvoice changes their authentication Realm for outgoing calls to "sip.broadvoice.com".

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Newbie Corner: How To Run Kphone

« on: April 28, 2006, 10:19:21 pm »

FWIW, I've decided to play with this again, and found that Cacko 1.23 and the latest KPhone/Pi from Add/Remove Software (1.0.0 built from KPhone 4.0.3) will let me receive calls using my Broadvoice account with no problems at all. Everything seems stable and responsive, but when I try to dial out, I still get a pop-up that says "Forbidden". I'm probably going to have to sniff a successful connection using X-Lite and compare it to an unsuccessful connection using KPhone/Pi to figure out what's going on...

Hmm... that looks like you're using a non-patched orinoco instead of the one we ship by default with OZ 3.5.3....

Oh Uh... I got it. Grrr, it's a bug in our kernel configuration. We enabled the in-kernel orinoco

I'll try to cook you an updated kernel when I have a chance.

Any news on this? If I just run the "Update" command from package manager, loading the WiFi driver causes the zaurus to lock up.

Thanks!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Orinoco Drivers Broken In 3.5.3 Upgrade?

« on: September 13, 2005, 08:05:57 am »

Using OZ 3.5.3 (Opie) on my c860, after I go into package manager and "Upgrade", inserting my Symbol WiFi card causes the Z to crash. I learned about the "machine" feed on the forums, so after removing the orinoco-modules and orinoco-modules-cs packages I had installed (which stopped the crashing) I downloaded the orinoco-modules and orinoco-modules-cs ipkgs from the feed at:
http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl...d/machine/c7x0/

only to learn that they're 2.4.x modules, and I'm running the (default) 2.6 kernel.
Has anyone else had this problem with upgrading? I don't mind reflashing, but I don't see what I could do differently the next time around to avoid this problem...

Suggestions?

Thanks!

xamindar (or anyone else): do you have any other japanese language tools working under OZ? I'm thinking about trying to get a dictionary working with just romanji, to help me in class for the time being. Any recomendations?

I think there are a couple unicode fonts available via Package Manager. I'm currently using "Unifont" and I'm pretty happy with it. I also have one called "Japanese" installed, but I haven't tried it yet.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Newbie Corner: How To Run Kphone

« on: September 02, 2005, 07:29:46 am »

I'm running Kphone/PI from the OZ 3.5.3 feed on my c860, w/ a standard cellphone headset and an adapter that makes it fit the Z's headphone jack. For some reason I get no sound.
I'm connecting to a Broadvoice account, which I still cant dial out from, but in cacko1.22 I could receive calls and talk for about a minute before kphone would break and go silent. Now it's silent the whole time, and I nothing I say makes it through to the other phone.

Opening kppi from the commandline reveals:
Opening OSS device /dev/dsp for Input
ERROR: Open Failed
** audioIn: openDevice Failed.

Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks for all the useful information.
Maybe we can take this back a step...
Is it possible to get the japanese fonts installed so that kanji/kana can be displayed?

KanjiNirvana seems have its own input area that doesn't rely on the OS, so I'm guessing I could still look up kanji by drawing them, as long as I could read the kanji matches returned, and the Kun/On readings...

Nunome sounds promising. Maybe a simpler intermediate step would be getting japanese keyboard input (ie: type 'ka' and get a　か)? KanjiNirvana does a simplified version of this too.. Maybe some code could be borrowed from the sourceforge project?

Mickeyl, you sound pretty knowledgable and involved in this sort of thing already. Is there an IRC channel you hang out in, or that you can recommend I visit to meet some people who would share this goal?

Thanks for the info =)

I don't really understand the issues involved with GCC compatibility libraries. Is it possible to create a compatibility library for shared libraries? Is there a place where I can read more about how sharp-compat-libs works?

I've spent a good amount of time googling, and I cant find anything about Japanese input support under OZ. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to add the japanese input method / fonts to OZ/Opie?

I currently am using Cacko in Japanese w/ all apps modified to use english, and find this to be ideal  because I can use Jisho & KanjiNirvana easily. I'd like to upgrade to OZ/Opie. Is there a similar setup for OZ/Opie that will allow me to use Jisho & Kanji Nirvana w/ japanese input?

Thanks!

OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Considering Switching From Cacko->oz Qpe

« on: February 10, 2005, 02:21:06 pm »

In case it matters, I have a c860 w/ 1gb of SD memory that I never remove.

One of the reasons I'm considering switching is that I have to use GCC 2.x to compile packages for my Z, and for alot of software thats just not an option any more. Also, the Wireless support in OZ is MUCH better than Cacko IMHO. The primary reason I've chosen OPIE over GPE is because I want/need Japanese handwriting support and I assume this is not available under GPE.

1) Can I enable Japanese language support? Is it similar to how this is done in Cacko?

2) Assuming the answer to #1 is yes, can I still run Jisho? If not, is there another program I can lookup Hiragana with?

3) Are there any problems running Hancom Word/Sheet under OZ 3.5.2?

4) Theres a version of Firefox available for Cacko, but its pretty old (0.6). When searching, I was unable to find any Firefox packages for OZ. Did I not look hard enough, or is there some reason why Firefox/Thunderbird can't exist under OZ?

5) The last time I tried OZ, there was a bug where the brightness couldn't be turned all the way up. I've read that this has been fixed, but are there any other current bugs that I might consider a deal-breaker in terms of switching to OZ permanently?

I'm not scared of dependency-hell or anything like that; I'm willing to put in the time to get my Z working properly. What I need is a mobile tool that provides: browser, SSH terminal, email client (IMAP cache&sync), Japanese dictionary and VoIP (Skype would be ideal, but I'll most likely go with an IAX or SIP client).

I'm currently using Opera, XQT, Firefox .6, Sylpheed, SLJisho, and KPhone. As long as I can get these working under OZ, I'd consider it a huge improvement over Cacko. I'm just afraid of spending hours only to find it can't be done.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Security and Networking / New Bluetooth Drivers

« on: January 15, 2005, 12:22:30 pm »

I've just installed the drivers on my Zaurus c860 using Cacko 1.21b and a Socket rev F card.
When I go into Network Settings and attempt to add add a modem to my Bluetooth Dial-up connection the script immediately says "No devices with DUN profile found" without scanning. It was able to discover my mobile phone immediately prior to installing the ipkg listed above.

Do you have any idea what I might try to get my phone working again with your updated drivers? I'd love to get these working (and contribute any resulting knowledge), but if that's not possible, will it be possible to "roll back" to my working driver, or will I need to restore a backup?

Thanks.

EDIT: sorry, I just noticed that you said EXCLUDING Cacko roms. I'ma go restore a backup now...

Software / Om/pi Questions/problems

« on: November 24, 2004, 11:05:45 am »

Is it possible to cache an IMAP account to an SD card in my Z for offline reading, and get new mail when an internet connection is available? If not, is this feature planned for a future release?

Also, OM/Pi seems to ignore the Read/Unread flag on my email messages and mark everything Unread every time I connect to my IMAP server. Is there any way to get it to show the proper Read/Unread flag?
It seems to have no problem marking the messages as Read, because after checking my email from my Z, I had 0 unread emails back at my desktop.

I've had almost no success finding any documentation or discussions online about OM/Pi, so even if you don't know the answers to any of my questions, but know somewhere better to ask/search, please post :-)

I'm currently using kdepim_1.9.13_for_Sharp.

Thanks!
